Fang Yu is a mute. When her mother gave birth to her, she pinched the baby for a long time but couldn’t hear a single cry. Following the principle of compensating for what’s lacking, she received the name “Yu” (language/speech), but unfortunately, her life was difficult. Her only relative passed away when she was thirteen, and since then, she has lived alone, tending the few acres of land her family owned. In these turbulent times, she barely manages to survive, until the village matchmaker comes to her door to arrange a marriage…

Shen Zhimo is a young lady from a once-prosperous but now impoverished family. Her ancestors were once wealthy, but when the last feudal dynasty collapsed, their vast fortune vanished like a dream. Angry peasants stormed the Shen family mansion, beating, smashing, and looting, finally burning it to the ground.

By her generation, the family had been completely ruined by her gambling-addicted mother, who squandered even their last bit of savings. They can’t even afford her school fees. Unwilling to give up her education, and now of marriageable age, she hopes to receive some betrothal money…

Due to her awkward social standing, the men willing to marry her are either idle good-for-nothings or disabled. After much consideration, the mute girl at the end of the village seems the most suitable…at least the mute is presentable, and being unable to speak is perfect – she won’t disturb her studies…
